By callous caitiff,
his vessel, once unbroken,
lies scuppered, hapless
sapling of the tree it used to be,
scuttled by unshaven
problems spoken,
flotsam now, wincing
in accumulated debris.
Truckloads of this cargo
dumped, his token,
bolus to the bow, hard to swallow,
pithy points of view,
rictus grin was held
till hold was choking,
sunken by canonical
coordinates untrue.
